It was another chilly autumn night as Amos held Eudora in his arms, feeling the joy of regaining what he had once lost.
"This is amazing, Eudora. Once we are discharged from the hospital, I must take you up to the mountain to redeem our vows to God."
"What?" Eudora sounded a little surprised. "Since when did you believe in these kinds of things?"
"It was when you fell sick." Amos said seriously, "At that time, I prayed to God that as long as you could get better and our family could still be as one, I would go up the mountain to worship God, and redeem my vows devoutly."
Eudora looked at the man's serious expression and couldn't help but mutter, "Silly man."
However, as soon as the words came out of her mouth, Eudora started to tear up.
They both were trying their best to keep each other safe. In fact, when Amos was in a coma, she even had the same silly idea of going up the mountain to pray.
Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Alright! Once you've fully recovered, let's bring Juju and Sugar Bun along and we shall pray together."
"Alright!" Amos nodded.
The next day, Eudora felt as though she was surrounded by a warm gaze before she woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she met Amos' affectionate gaze.
"Good morning."
Amos greeted.
If it weren't for this accident, he would have never known how much of a blessing it was to be able to greet his beloved woman every morning.
Especially when his little woman, who was still in a daze, looked like a lost kitten. Amos' heart softened as he reached out to tidy her slightly messy long hair.
A second later, a kiss was planted on her forehead. While Eudora was still in a daze, the kiss quickly moved from her forehead to her lips.
Eudora quickly reached out her hand to his chest as she stopped him and said vaguely, "Hey...what are you trying to do? We're still in the hospital."
Amos ignored her and tugged on her lips mischievously for a moment before finally letting her go.
"It's a wake-up kiss. Are you awake now?"
Eudora was flustered.
How could she not be awake when he was being so brazen? If the nurses of the hospital had walked into their intimate moment, wouldn't they assume that she was in such great desire for affection till she had to seduce her man in the ward?
Eudora immediately got out of the bed when she saw that Amos was about to come at her again. However, he still managed to drag her back to bed.
A moment later, the door was pushed open from the outside. Clint was stunned for a moment before turning around hurriedly.
"Sorry, I didn't see anything."
Eudora's cheeks turned red, and she rolled her eyes at Amos. "Ahem! You guys should talk, I'll make a move first."
After that, she covered her blushing face and ran away. It was all Amos' fault. It was so embarrassing.
When Eudora left, Amos' face turned solemn. "What's wrong?"
Clint finally came to his senses. "Oh, President Granger, I've come to inform you that we've just received news that there's an issue with our project."
Amos frowned slightly. "What's wrong?"
"Do you remember how Andrew Hamilton had secretly prepared a lot of scrap steel for our project? We've already confirmed with the person in charge that those scraps are no longer in use. However, something seems to have happened to him recently, and he hadn't been going to the construction site recently. Apparently, the workers on site ended up using the scrap steel and one of the scaffolds collapsed, which resulted in one death and one injury. The police have contacted me and requested your assistance in the investigation."
Before he finished, the police had already entered the ward.
